 "Crow People" are a mysterious race mostly known to originate from the [[Other Side|Void]], where they were posted as watchers and messengers by the Elder Gods to watch over the horrors banished there, and notify the gods of trouble; unfortunately, the Elder Gods, being very distant and forgetful, over time began to neglect watching the Watchers, allowing the Crow People the opportunity to fall under the sway of the corruption of [[Nyarlathotep]].  Crow People may also be found in both the [[Dreamlands]] and the [[Daylands]], as well as other worlds, where they serve various masters.
-Those Crow People who originate in the [[Dreamlands]] and on the [[Other Side]] are said to look like feathered men with the beaked heads of crows, ravens, or other such birds, or of bluish-black feathered "angels" with terrifying faces, though it is uncertain whether these strange bodies are the actual forms of Crow People, or just the shapes that men have dreamed for them.

 The Crow People are said to have once served the gods as messengers to and from the [[Other Side]], as watchers or guardians, and as seekers, collectors, and keepers of secrets, lore, and wisdom.  In such roles, the Crow People have served as advisors and assistants to prophets, necromancers, artists, and visionaries.  The Crow People are also said to have conspired in some way with a variety of "dark forces" in the universe toward the corruption and downfall of the [[Elder Gods]], and to those humans and other beings inclined to work toward order and sanity in the [[Daylands]] and elsewhere; in this role, the Crow People are seen as tempters and tricksters, often of great malevolence and cruelty.

 <blockquote>
 They appear as a bipedal crow covered in black feathers. They are unable to fly as they have human like arms covered in feathers instead of wings. Standing a little over five feet in height the are very quick, agile, cunning and stealthy but none too strong. They often aid human servants of [[Shub-Niggurath]] as thieves, spies and assassins. and when traveling attempt to disguise themselves in heavy clothes and keep their heads covered. They generally eat carrion and have been known to raid human graveyards to find food, sometimes warring with [[Ghoul]]s. They were more common during the dark ages and before but now are on the verge of extinction. They originate from Europe and many dark legends about them are known there. Their arrival to the colonies is something of a mystery as they cannot fly and the close confinement of ship would give their true form. They speak a language of clicks, caws and whistles but are able to understand human languages.
